How to get followers on Social media Part two:

Here is a continuation of my notes from a life the universe and everything panel. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

One thing that had huge success is events and parties. Have an online party. A group on author’s think tank. You can contact fellow authors and say you need some prizes for a party. You may get eBooks from authors that they will give away. When do the events, provide prizes that match what you’re known for. To win this prize (show a picture of the prize) you need to like their author page, follow them and find ways to promote that person. The bigger the prize the more tasks they need to do.
You can have a party last an hour, several hours. For tasks have them do fun things such as to write a caption for a funny photo.
At a party can have another author take over. For the day the author will run a party for the hour. The most successful party was a week-long party. Did two games a day.
Some games can create a caption, find a picture of somebody who was old who is old but loving live. And they can post it. The YA scavenger hunt.
Raffle copter: those are where you go to raffelcopter.com set up prizes. The gibber prize you give away, the more response. They will have tasks to follow you on Facebook follow me on watt pod.
